I'm not talking about extending the XMLRPC standard to represent the arbitrary java object (a la RMI). I'm referring to extending the Apache Java XMLRPC API implementation to understand JDOM XML objects. The API already simplifies handling Java Hashtables, Vectors, I think it would be helpful providing another layer of abstraction that can translate the the JDOM object to these base types. If on the other side the language is C/C++/PHP/etc, it would only understand the base types and would have to reconstruct the data structure if required, but if your lucky enough to use Java, the API can provide some simplication for Java developers.
Anyway the idea may be just too specific to JDOM and detracts from just providing an API for XMLRPC but I thought it would be useful and help further promote the Java XMLRPC API. > -----Original Message----- > From: Pablo A.
